What Happens on TDY Stays on TDY

So What, my man is TDY***

the man I had a crush on before I met him

is blossoming in my eyes

a victim of the world

but not defeated

a sensitive caring loving hard worker

hurt, but not hurting

i asked to make out with you

and you gave me the sweetest kiss ever

I'm thinking about you

the evening after

and your heart is fantastic

you're adorable papi

someone nicer than me, my first thought on love

inside a freezing freshman dorm and a lost sense of reality

in the middle of the confederacy and the rural intellectualism

just a kiss dude

just a make out session

is that too much too ask

you angel

you surviving angel

that has walked through the valley of the shadow of death

phoenix

I've written about you before

***TDY- Tour of Duty or Temporary Duty; used mainly in Military Circles

Even though I don't know what TDY is, I still get a feeling of longing, of loss - an attempt to deny the undeniable connection. Some lovers get in your soul like chemicals in your bloodstream, and they never really leave you.

BTW, it was a quietly powerful poem. Thanks. - Moskowitz
